Motherhood.
My Biggest Regret
That I didn't have more time with my sister - she passed away at too young an age.

My Other Website
Personal
What I'm Currently Addicted To...
Re-reading my favorite book series including those by Kathy Reichs, Tess Gerritsen, Sue Grafton and others.
This Is Annoying Me...
that the economy is so shaky it's causing some artists I know to discontinue their work out of frustration and fear.
This Is Making Me Worry...
is that the future of the country I love is in the hands of politicians instead of the people.
This Is Bringing Me Joy...
Oh, I find Joy in every day! Joy in my work, time spent with my family and friends; even the time spent with our parrot named George.
I'm Running From...
nothing I can think of.
This Is Helping Me Create...
having windows in my office/studio. Sunshine, sky, hearing birds sing...these things bring warmth into my creativity. Oh, and having tv shows playing in the background.
This Is Making Me Think - Hard...
What the world will be like when my grandson is a grown man with a family of his own.
This Makes My Teeth Itch
When people are not Kind one to another.
Can't Do Without
BBQ potato chips. Odd maybe, but they help me to keep my sister's memory alive - we share a love of movies watched over bags of bbq chips.
